So I had a long post about the fun we’re having with the Millers this weekend, but I accidentally published it on E2S instead of here and had to delete it. So I will just put up some pictures…

When we were visiting KK and Kelly and Henry this summer, I fell in love with their gray walls. I’d always thought of gray as kindof modern and stark (=the opposite of me), but their home seemed so calm and cozy. I realized colonial homes have gray, too, it’s all in what kind of gray. […]

Once I got the library squared away, I actually knew what furniture I was working with in the living room. I hear from the contractor that the painter isn’t coming out for another couple of weeks, so I’m just going to set everything up how I want it (except for stuff on the walls) and […]

Telling myself I won’t be living in this state forever… These two pictures are both taken from the […]

Four and a half years here–hard to believe. When we moved in, I was just starting to figure out the manual settings on my camera, Tommy was drinking out of a sippy cup, Susie was a newborn, and Elizabeth had all her teeth (for a few days, at least). And we’re moving out today.

Throbbing post-crying headache this afternoon after looking at the fully renovated condo for the first time. I don’t know if I want to remember how depressed I’m feeling today about what we just bought this morning, so I won’t type out all my thoughts other than once I stopped sobbing to my mom over the […]

If you saw on facebook, we had a photo shoot a couple weeks ago, and Janie was in full-out Terrible Twos the whole time. I’ve got to go through all the pictures, but for now, this one captures these four so perfectly.
